Airflow teeth cleaning at Outwood Dental Care
Airflow teeth cleaning lifts stubborn surface stains that a toothbrush can't shift, leaving your teeth feeling smooth and looking brighter.
Our dental hygienists and therapists, Jennifer Hayter and Nichola Knifton, offer Airflow alongside your regular dental hygiene care.
It's a simple way to freshen up your smile while keeping your gums healthy.
What is Airflow stain removal?
Guided biofilm therapy (GBT) is a step-by-step approach to professional teeth cleaning that focuses on removing biofilm (the sticky film of bacteria better known as plaque). Your hygienist starts by applying a harmless dye that shows up the biofilm, so they can see exactly where to clean.
They then use Airflow tooth polishing, a controlled spray of air, warm water and fine powder, to lift the biofilm and surface staining from your teeth, including the small gaps between them and along the gumline. If any hardened tartar remains, they remove it gently with a fine ultrasonic instrument.
Airflow removes surface stains, but it doesn’t change the natural colour of your teeth. If you’d like a lighter shade, tooth whitening is the next step.
How much does Airflow teeth cleaning cost?
You can find the cost of our Airflow tooth polishing treatments on our pricing page.
Our reception team can also tell you the current fee when you book. Many of our patients use one of our pay-monthly membership plans to help budget for routine hygiene appointments.

Is Airflow teeth cleaning right for me?
Airflow teeth cleaning suits you if you've noticed staining from coffee, tea, red wine or smoking that brushing doesn't remove.
It's also a good way to get your teeth properly clean if it's been a while since your last hygiene appointment.
Your hygienist will check your gums first and let you know whether Airflow, a traditional scale and polish or a mix of both suits your mouth best.
